Your heart rate, from your camera. Valix uses remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), a camera-based technique that detects subtle color changes in your skin caused by blood flow, to estimate your heart rate without any physical contact.

Our CNN model was trained on the Multi-Camera Dataset for Remote Photoplethysmography (MCD-rPPG), a research dataset from the peer-reviewed paper "Gaze into the Heart: A Multi-View Video Dataset for rPPG and Health Biomarkers Estimation." Transparency built in Every measurement includes a confidence level so you always know how reliable the reading is. Valix shows you what it observes — nothing more, nothing less.
